WP8548 EXTERNAL_SLOT_2 not detect sim card

Hello.
When EXTERNAL_SLOT_1 is used, everything works great. Namely le_sim_AddNewStateHandler (), le_sim_IsReady (), le_sim_IsPresent ().
When switching to EXTERNAL_SLOT_2, le_sim_IsPresent () returns that the sim card is absent. Sim state change events do not occur.
In this case, AT + CPIN? return READY.
Why it happens?
Is it possible at all to find out if sim is present in EXTERNAL_SLOT_2 without switching the active slot?

/**

  • This function selects the Card on which all further SIM operations have to be operated.

  • @return LE_FAULT The function failed.

  • @return LE_TIMEOUT No response was received.

  • @return LE_OK The function succeeded.
    */
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    le_result_t pa_sim_SelectCard
    (
    le_sim_Id_t cardId ///< The SIM to be selected
    )
    {
    if (cardId != LE_SIM_EXTERNAL_SLOT_1)
    {
    return LE_FAULT;
    }
    UimSelect = cardId;

    return LE_OK;
    }
    The answer is found in the source. But why and why is this check performed?

Help to tick “Solutions” if your question is answered.

Yes, if you do a reset, then everything works fine. We tested this on different legato versions from 16 to 20. Can we do without a reset?

Hi @maschenkoaa

No, we can’t.
